PLEASE do not send flowers lol... This is Steve's brother, I come and read this and really enjoy the stories you post. Your stories help me remember my brother in other ways apart from my dwindling memories and some comments bring memories back to me I've forgotten. I really miss my brother, I can't even express how much I miss him... Please tell me what you miss about him and share your memories with me. I don't even care if it's something bad, I just want to remember him!

Oh Steve you sure taught me the meaning of HARD WORK And being a type of person that can do multiple jobs at one time. I really miss hanging out with the baby ostrichs... May you rest in peace. And may Jesus give comfort to all your family and friends xoxox

Although we all know eventually life will end, I don't think anyone is ever 100% ready for it. Obviously I wasn't ready to say goodbye to my father. I had so much more to learn and so many more things I wanted us to create memories doing. I am truly grateful for all the wonderful things I experienced especially since moving back to AZ in 2007.

Several months ago I asked Steve if he could get me a special...

If you where at the ceremony, and saw Karen's pictures, you realized that you knew a part of Steve, but there were a lot of parts of Steve shared with a lot of different people. As Steve's brother, I shared trips to Mexico in the tide pools. He was like a father to me for advice. I looked forward to lunches with him just to have someone...

In 1966 I was walking up Stephen's parents driveway to give him a guitar lesson. I didn't see a cactus plant and walked into it. My knee was full of needles. Stephen got a pliers and pulled them out. He was a good kid then and as I see a good man later. Rest easy.
